Pottery demonstration by an unconventional artist.
Stephanie Premich, unconventional potter of Mud & Maker from Pottsville, Pennsylvania, will demonstrate her talents of pottery making at 3 p.m. on Monday, February 8, 2016 during Market Square Shows at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center.
“We create opportunities for buyers to meet and engage with our many artists and learn how they go about their creative process,” says Kathy Goodrich, president of Market Square Shows. “The demonstrations enable buyers to casually talk with the artists. They get to see work in progress and become more familiar with the talents and processes behind the unique, handmade products at our shows.”

Market Square is well known for impeccable jurying of unique exhibitors and artesian products. And, Premich’s work is a perfect match with pottery that blends multiple techniques and mediums to create handcrafted and original one of a kind pieces. “I’m inspired by our natural surroundings and the people that we meet,” says Premich. “You’ll find our designs to be playful and witty, and a blend of colorful yet rustic aesthetic.”

In 2012, Pemrich and her partner, Ryan Zajac opened their gallery, store and studio Mud & Maker in Pottsville. There, she teaches cleverly crafted seasonal workshops where locals enjoy getting their hands dirty making pottery creations of their own. They even take their workshops on the road where residents and students in elderly care facilities, daycare centers, preschools, and schools glaze a piece of pottery.
